Grief is no time for knee jerk reaction to gun laws

When I saw the picture of Christina-Taylor Green, that little 9-year-old angel, I broke down and cried. It was a time for tears, for grieving, not for name-calling and finger-pointing.

Sometimes, people react strangely to grief. When my clients die, I counsel their relatives to forgive everything anybody says because they can say inappropriate, hurtful things. “You killed Dad because you didn’t visit him in the nursing home.” “You can have another child/get remarried.”

Let it pass. It’s the grief talking; it’s feeling instead of thinking. So, in the case of this atrocity near Tucson, people have blurted out irrational, inappropriate things. They blame Sarah Palin or the “tea party” or talk radio or Arizona and Arizonans, or supposedly inadequate gun laws.

About Gunsite

Gunsite offers firearm training to elite military personnel, law enforcement officers and free citizens of the US.

We knowledgeable Americans take our rights very seriously, and the Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States guarantees each citizen the right to keep and bear arms. However, with each right comes an equal responsibility to discharge that right effectively, legally, safely and within the bounds of morality. Rights demand responsibility.

Owning a piano does not make one a pianist any more than owning a handgun makes one a good shooter. Only an effective, safe and authoritative program of study can guarantee that in a moment of danger YOU will act to protect yourself, your loved ones or the ones you are sworn to with self defense firearms training skills.
